This helps me know more about the circulation and people activites on the temple street. One map can show more than one desi gn f ac tors. And it a ls o makes me realize that the artificial lighting not o nly shows the pros per it y o f Te m p l e S t r e e t , b u t also the problem of light p o llut io n.

nspired by the lighting of the Night Market, I would like to design a shelter with various layers above the hawker stand or iginally. However, I found it too d u l l a n d s i m p l e. A s p at i a l d e s i gn should be multi-functional with the connection to the site of 6m x 6m x 6m .

But the composition is too complicated and it is not suitable for a cubic area with each side of 6m. Although it looks good, it is not a good design for the users because of over limitation of s p a ce s. Th e re fo re, avo i d u s i n g to o m u c h el ements c a n b r i ng i m prove m e nts.

N egative Spaces

Craf ting A

s the previous works are too complicated with not too much effec tive programmes, I tr ied to design the spaces by reduction from a cube instead of the addition method. This m e t h o d a l l ows m e to c re ate > 5 s p a ce s with no limitation of layers. And it helps strengthen the connection and linkage between them. I want this design can act as a good place of rest ing i nd enter t ai nm ents.
